Oh, indeed. I noted *that* odd contradiction in an earlier post. Barry positively foamed at the mouth when Shemp asked him about evidence for his claim of having seen Frederick Lenz levitate, for example, but derided those who believed in a past golden age as recounted in the Vedas because there was no scientific evidence for it. But I don't think he's referring to the scientific paradigm here, rather the TM paradigm of the nature and mechanics of consciousness. ------------------------ Yahoo!
